Flossie was the third of five children born to Mary
Ellen Long and Harvey P. Fetterman. There was not much information
to be found on this couple. In 1930, they were renting an apartment
in Hamilton, Trenton City, New Jersey. At this time, Flossie was working
as a typist for a pottery, and William was working as a salesman selling
porcelain. The 1930 census lists Flossie as being 24 at the time of
her marriage to William; he was 21. There were no children listed, but
the census shows that both William and his parents were born in New
Jersey. An interesting note to this is that the other apartment was
occupied by Morris G. Long, a widower, and his daughters. It may well
be that Morris was a relation to Flossies mother. Their residence
at the time of Williams death was Mohnton, Berks County, PA.
